Reforming Kent's Roads
We are Reforming Kent’s Roads, starting with a major £67 million investment in the county’s 5,400 mile road network.
The money will be used to tackle potholes, renew road surfaces and prevent future damage, marking one of the largest investments in Kent’s roads in recent years. This year’s investment, which is already underway, includes:
- £25 million for renewing and reconstructing roads
- £10 million for preventative measures to stop potholes forming
- £11 million for quick, efficient, and permanent local repairs by our highways teams
- £7 million on addressing the most urgent repairs to keep the roads and paths safe
- £14.2 million in additional funding from the Department for Transport for a dedicated pothole and patching programme – a 65% increase on last year’s investment.
You'll see more crews out on the road now, please treat them with respect as they make improvements to the highway.
